OPSWA Officers

Has served on the OPSWA Board (current President) since the organization was resurrected in 2013. Employed as a state partnership manager and senior writer for MaxPreps.com. Previously served as an editor/writer at JJHuddle.com, the Lancaster Eagle‐Gazette and the Centerville‐Bellbrook Times. Has freelanced for the Dayton Daily News since 2003.

 

I've been a sports writer in Northeastern Ohio since graduating from Ohio State in 1991, including six years at the Ashtabula Star Beacon and 20 at The News‐Herald in Willoughby. I was the district chairman of the Northeast Lakes District from 2010‐2022. Among the awards I've been blessed with are the National Football Foundation's Ohio Writer of the Year in 2017, Wrestling Media Service Award in 2019 and Ashtabula County Basketball Hall of Fame in 2018.

 

I have been with the Lancaster Eagle‐Gazette since 2013 and before that, I was at the Newark Advocate from 2007‐2013. I was also the Sports Editor at the Mount Vernon News from 1990‐1999. I have been a part of the Central District football and basketball board for more than 20 years. It would be an honor to help the Ohio Prep Sportswriters Association grow and have an even stronger presence around the state with new and fresh ideas as we move forward. I would like to be considered for a spot in the OPSWA Board of Officers. Thank you for your consideration.

 

I have been with the Mansfield News Journal since 2018 with previous stops in Bucyrus and Norwalk from 2015‐2018. I have been a part of the Northwest District football and basketball board for the last four years. I would like to be considered for a spot on the OPSWA Board of Officers to help grow the organization’s presence in the state as well as hopefully bring some fresh and new ideas to how to move forward.
